Jeremiah

you were born over the top
your mommy birthed you
with feet high in the air
declaring, “Watch this!”
the audience cheered
as you vaulted out
through a flaming hoop
to land on stage
saying “Ta-daaaa!”
you wore a hat
before you wore a diaper
your first step
was a two step
you had your first regret
before your first tooth
your play pen was
a three ring circus
and you
were born
a star
